That too!

Anthony Edwards' personality is money. This is exactly the kind of guy you want to be your alpha. I hope he puts the work in, but the confidence and charisma is off the charts.

He's unique, that's for sure! I loved his talking about working on his shooting this off season- really working on his shooting. But I liked even more his comments about how he wants to improve on defense. He says he thinks he's a good on-ball defender (I mostly agree) but needs to work on his team defense- says he's going to look at film and try to improve in this area.

Interesting to hear him say Rubio was the leader of the team last year. Begs the question of who will be the leader in the locker room this year. I'm gonna say Pat Bev...almost everyone has mentioned him today. Has he been on yet today?

KAT's interview was interesting. He seemed totally off-script. A lot of fumbling for words and pregnant pauses as he seemed to be searching for the right words, especially when asked about Rosas and all the turmoil he's experienced since he came here. He dropped the S word twice. He did say body's stronger and I'm also feeling stronger mentally. Talked about his leadership (giving teammates credit and taking on all the blame). Talked about influence of ARod. Talked about how he badly wants to win (made me wonder if the Wolves don't win in the next two years, what he'll do).

DLO. Did he really mention "contract year"? Said he attributed better play at end of season to feeling healthy. When asked about defense, he turned the question around and said that the other team has to defend us and that's our advantage.

Ant: Very fun interview. Didn't know he called coach, Finchy, but lots of good stuff from this "Killer".

Yeah, I didn't understand DLO's contract year comment...sounded like he forgot he has two years left. Oh well, let's not remind him!

I think he was referring to how hard he has been working... Like it is a contract year.

This has been as enjoyable a media day as I can remember. It seems like we are getting more personal information from players than we have in the past. Which warrants some kudos to the guys asking the questions!

Balmaro looks mature beyond his years- both physically and mentally. I had no idea his English was so good. They asked if he wanted a translator up there ( I assume Prigioni with Rosas gone) and he waved it off. You can't tell much from a presser, but I liked what I saw.

Vando time next.

Ha, he must be a Ted Lasso fan! Wasn't that the first thing Coach Lasso fixed when he took over coaching duties for the soccer team?

BTW, check out Lasso if you're looking for some brilliant, feel-good programming

Ted Lasso was the first thing I thought about when I read the comment too. Lol I had heard a lot of good things about the show from a very wide variety of people. I don't want to oversell it but it has not disappointed.

Really like Prince, hope he stays.

It troubles me that Towns general opinion of our team is dysfunctional. Even though it is 100% accurate.

Love Ant. Making a big move for my favorite NBA player in a while.

If you watch the feed on FaceBook, it looks like you can rewind to previous interviews...
